Personal Narrative: Saving Grace

Improved Essays
I’m not a cup full of sugar or a bucket of crap, I’m in between as a matter of fact.
I want to matter and be matter,
I don’t walk up hill all my life I went to take the path that flatter. You opened me up and I shut all doors, too scared to not be good enough and flat broke poor.

I am scared of measuring up, sometimes when it’s too good to be true it makes you give up.

When the reflection seems uninterested, you think you’re failing what you’ve been tested.

Saving Grace

She always has had saving grace, an angel on earth with a different loving heart and a gracious face. A crooked smile and genuine care, someone honest, loyal and fair.

When she’s sick or she’s mad, then doubt may come in, she’s a completely different person then when she doesn’t carry her grin. She s complicated at best, but she’s nothing like the rest.
No manipulation, she is what she is, no bullshit in her from her toes to her head. She’s saving grace, and I set that all back,
I lost what I had and now oh God how I lack. I severed the trust the honesty and care, wrecked twice the commitment and honesty there.

Turned into someone I’ve always despised turned into a liar, but it both of us crying these tears that don’t dry.
My biggest fear is a final goodbye.
I never deserved her, she’s better than I. She really loved me, but I didn’t believe, now she’s gone forever, a distant melody. I betrayed her so bad, broke her heart, made her sad.
Didn’t feel good enough to accept what I had.

Now saving grace is all gone, I’ll never belong. She’ll never trust what I
